This is pointless advice now but save your money. Qatar was probably the most forgettable place we've ever been.
Not sure I get why people go to Dubai either.
It’s where the cruise ship departs |

Cyprus wouldn’t be top of my holiday destinations at the moment.
Love the place Jim. Wouldn’t stop me going there, if fact we’ve been looking at going back in October. |

Stop moaning, Xi's doing his best.
Yep. He certainly is. Cleansing HK of all British HK Chinese as well, infact anyone who merely critiques the communist regime. |

Thanks, but it's not a holiday, it's a work trip. |

Ah fair enough. 😀 Also ive realised how pathetic my comment regarding Dubai was. Everyone is different and of course places will have different appeals. Another place that I wouldn't have wanted to visit previously was China, but starting to watch Race Around the world, some of the rural areas are absolutely stunning. I'm not sure the big cities appeal but somewhere more off the beaten track looks like it could be tremendous. |

Lovely country and it seems safe at the moment for westerners to travel there even there’s many photos of tracer fire at night in the distance. I guess if Israel’s big brother gets involved you won’t have an option of travelling it just depends on what happens next in this meaningless conflict. |

Cyprus was fine when I went, but that was 13 years ago.

I was out there helping airlifting people out when it all took off between Greece and Turkey in the 70s.
Not pleasant then.

I know an expat who lives and teaches in China. They absolutely love it there. Also have family who did some of China and Taiwan a few years ago - pre covid. They had an incredible time. I'll try and find out a smidge more info but I know they went and visited some tea plantations, possibly Jingmaoy/mai?? |
